It's a good question - I'm not sure - perhaps someone with more legal knowledge on here could answer that one. Personally I could excuse a private individual from it. As you say it could be a genuine mistake or perhaps they themselves were misled in the past. But in my view it is inexcusable for any...

Just a word of caution - something to look out for if you're in the market for a used car (not Rover Coupe related). Seen a couple of instances lately of cars being sold as different variants than their actual original spec. uncovered by comparing the original specs with the options available and id...

It was fine when I had my Midget. Garage door shut, little heater on and just set a few bits of carpet on fire when welding it soon heats up. To be fair if I had a lift of some sort I could probably work on the underside and engine of the coupe reasonably well but it's no good for bodywork. We count...

Anyone else struggling to get out and work on their cars at the moment? I usually do a fair amount during the winter but it is really starting to drag on and I must admit I doubt I'll get much done in the evenings this week.

Just a heads up that Redex and some motor oils (castrol / magnatec) are on offer again at Tesco. They periodically seem to do this to clear out old stock, it doesn't hang around for long so if you're in the market for fuel treatment or oil its worth checking it out.

My plans are: - Help out with the club a bit more. - Finish the worst affected rear quarter panel repair. - Dynax in the sills - Fit decent set of cloth seats for now until I can get leather ones restored - Get the coupe MOT'ed and back on the road again. - Spray and fit the new rear spoiler - Gener...

Most importantly get Ravs car fixed up and back on the road and back to Rav. Anyone want to come weld some patches on the sills? Depending on how repairs go with mine I might be able to help out with this a bit later on. Maybe you could help me out with some mechanical bits on mine with the assista...

Sounds like a good compromise of mod cons and allowing the driver to have fun - I think its important for manufacturers not to lose sight of this, I'd love to see more (affordable) electric cars with this kind of approach. We had a Kia Cee'd a while back and that actually drove pretty well, and I be...

Well start of 2017 I wouldn't even have guessed I'd be a Tomcat owner... But here's mine - Full service [done] - See where holes appear & what falls off in first few 100 miles - [done - radiator and exhaust silencer] - Replace said parts [50 % done] - Collect parts, tools and knowledge for first ro...

Yes I would say just go over and say Hi and politely ask if they would mind not parking in front of your car as you need access to be able to get it in and out. I think that's better than not addressing the issue early on, as long as everyone knows the situation with parking and who should park wher...

Most recently just a couple jobs on the Smart I bought - key programming and a few mechanical bits - it's nothing urgent but just things I want sorted as a preventative measure really. I decided to do everything I can myself in the end anyway. There are some good guides online I found. For the coupe...

I have been, and in all likelihood will continue to, do the majority of work to the coupe myself. But it is nice to know you have some backup for certain jobs you don't have the facilities (or time) to do. And especially running multiple vehicles sometimes a helping hand is needed. It's great that t...

Also I've found a lot of these 'specialist' businesses tend to actually turn out to be run on the side of someone's actual day job. While I respect their entrepreneurial ambition, it does leave you wondering about all kinds of things like if they are properly insured etc.
